The English system, as it applies in Dunstable

Renting a new home in Dunstable? In England, most private tenancies are now assured periodic tenancies with no fixed end date, and since 1 May 2026 landlords can no longer use section 21 no-fault evictions. New-build buyers usually receive a structural warranty and buy through exchange of contracts and completion, paying Stamp Duty Land Tax where it is due. Land to Homes has no homes for sale or rent yet, but you can register your interest.

In England, the Renters' Rights Act 2025 has replaced assured shorthold tenancies with assured periodic tenancies for most private lets, ending section 21 'no fault' evictions. Deposits must be protected in a government-approved scheme. Social and affordable rent homes are let by councils and registered providers, which are regulated by the Regulator of Social Housing.

Your questions answered for Dunstable

Does Land to Homes have any homes to rent?

No, not yet. Land to Homes is a new venture and has no homes available to rent. We do not take rental applications, holding deposits or fees at this stage. You can register interest with the area, type of home and timing you need, and we will contact you if we bring forward rental homes that match.

How are tenancies different in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland?

In Wales, tenants are contract-holders under occupation contracts set by the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016. Most private tenancies in Scotland are open-ended private residential tenancies. In Northern Ireland, private tenancies are governed by the Private Tenancies Order, as amended by the Private Tenancies Act 2022. Each nation has its own rules on deposits, notice and landlord registration.

How do I register interest in renting a new home?

Give us your contact details, the areas you are interested in, the type and size of home you need and roughly when you want to move. We use that to contact you about relevant homes and to understand rental demand when we plan sites. It is free, it is not an application and you can ask us to remove your details at any time.

Are new-build rented homes more energy efficient?

Generally, yes. New homes must meet current building regulations or building standards on insulation, airtightness and heating, which are stricter than the rules many older homes were built to. That usually means a better Energy Performance Certificate rating, although running costs still depend on the home, the heating system and how it is used.

Are there new homes available in Dunstable now?

Not yet. Land to Homes has no homes available in Dunstable at the moment. You can register your interest for Dunstable, and we will contact you if we bring homes forward there or nearby.
